Ah, … … our base is 3/4 on passing downs we are likely to go to the nickel and the NT will come out.

You have it completely bass-ackwards

SpitbloodWed, 31 Jul 2013 04:47:10 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers/?p=12587#comment-120979I wouldn’t worry about NT in the 3/4 that much. The Niners don’t play much 3/4, and when they do it’s on third and passing yardage so the NT only has to worry about preventing the qb from running up the gut. It’s of little consequence. Soap and RJF weren’t impact players. When the Niners go with 4 down linemen or their muddle huddle, Williams will only get in there on occasion if he wins the starting job over Dorsey.

I’ve read conflicting reports about Glenn Dorsey. Some say he’s too small. Others say he’s a great fit for the 49ers because he’ll be playing a similar role with SF to the one he played in college. My guess is he’ll be about the same as Soap or RJF. Williams and Dorsey for Soap and RJF? Total net gain of zero….. but I’ve been wrong before.

Regarding the Harvin news? Interesting that the Seahawks and Pete Carroll said they didn’t think surgery was necessary for Harvin, then Harvin gets a second opinion and announces surgery required. On the Niner side we have Harbaugh fighting to make the Brown contract right, and in Seattle they have Pete trying to make Harvin do something he’s not comfortable with. Advantage Niners. I remember after the Patriots’ dynasty was about over Assante Samuel was talking to Richard Seymor in the news saying, “They [The Pats] don’t care about you, dude.” It’s important that Niner players feel their coaches have their back outside the lines. I think the Niners feel that way about Harbaugh. Now Harbaugh just needs to grow up on the sidelines and treat refs and reporters better. Then we’ll really have something in the Mad Scientist in the booth (G-Roe) and the Nutty Professor (Jimbo) on the sidelines. Call ‘em what you want, G-Roe and Jimbo or the Mad Scientist and Nutty Professor…. Nutty Professor needs to get less nutty when calls go against him.

Our secondary is going to be interesting. One way or another Nnamdi is going to get on the field. Rogers, Culliver or Brown? Who’s the odd man out? I thought maybe Culliver or Nnamdi would move to FS, but Fangio is liking Spillman, Trenton Robinson and Dahl. Me? I don’t want any of those nimrods in my secondary. I want my secondary depth chart to look like this…. RCB Brown, Brock (backup). FS Reid, Nnamdi. LCB and Nickle Rogers, Culliver. SS Whitner and Spillman, Dahl or Robinson (whomever proves to be the better player). Charles Woodson moved to safety later in his career. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Nnamdi move there, too.

Frank Gore is killin’ me. I love the guy. But he’s so slow. I know he runs low to the ground and he’s a warrior, but come on… we need more juice at the running back position. I sincerely hope James and Hunter take a majority of the carries this season. Frank isn’t done, but he’s lost a lot. I love him, but the end is near. It would be nice to see Jewel make the team and hit holes with a vengeance known only to Wilt Chamberland.

And finally AJ Jenkins. This kid is close to being cut. I think he’ll make the 53 man roster no matter what his pre season showing becomes, but that’s only because the 49ers’ brain trust will want to throw him out there in the regular season and see if Jenkins somehow starts catching on. One last look sort of thing. But if Jenkins is once again disappearing when the lights go on this preseason, he’s a bust. Harbaalke can’t be emotionally invested in the guy. If in year two he can’t compete, move on. Give the roster opportunity to someone else. I was crying for Alshon Jeffrey when the Niners chose Jenkins. I think the Niners, and more specifically Baalke, have a tough time drafting wide receivers. That’ll suck for Kaep. Montana had Rice and Taylor.

For my money… Kaep must have Crabtree. Right now the 49ers are 7 million under the cap because of the Smith restructure and the Brown blunder. We should really forget handing a contract extension to a guard in Iupati. We should put that 7 million towards Crabtree knowing full well that it’ll take a while to get him back on the field and playing 100%. For my money, the next signing priorities aren’t Brown or Rogers or Whitner or Aldon Smith or Iupati. My top two signing priorities are Kaep and Crabtree, and then I’d call ole’ Spitblood on the phone next draft and ask him who he’d pick as a second or third round wide receiver to give Kaep a second option at receiver…. ’cause we know Baalke ain’t finding Kaep a compliment. This year? Ole’ Spitblood loved WR from Marshall, Aaron Dobson (Patriots grabbed him in the second). Kid was a freak – Tall and ran a 4.2 at his pro day. But they don’t listen to me….
